Medicinal cannabis is a medication, and like all medications it can have side effects.

 HISTORY OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA

The historical backdrop of Medical Marijuana returns to the antiquated times. Antiquated doctors in
many regions of the planet blended weed into prescriptions to treat torment and different diseases. In
the nineteenth 100 years, pot was presented for remedial use in Western Medication. From that point
forward, there have been a few progressions in how the medication is directed. At first, marijuana was
decreased to a powder and blended in with wine for organization. During the 1970s, engineered THC
was made to be directed as the medication Marinol in a container. Notwithstanding, the principal
method of organization for marijuana is smoking on the grounds that its belongings are practically
prompt when the smoke is breathed in. Somewhere in the range of 1996 and 1999, eight U.S. states
upheld pot solutions contradicting approaches of the national government. A great many people who
are endorsed weed for clinical purposes use it to lighten extreme torment

SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Medicinal cannabis is a medication, and like all medications it can have side effects.
Side effects can vary greatly with the type of medicinal cannabis product, the active ingredients (e.g.
CBD, THC or combination) and between people.
Products containing THC can cause sedation, anxiety, dizziness, appetite stimulation and impairments in
driving and cognitive function. In extreme cases THC can cause hallucinations and psychosis. Doctors will
tend to prescribe very low doses of THC when people start treatment.
CBD is generally without serious side effects by itself, but may interact with other prescription
medications to alter their effects.


CONCLUSION

For most people the use of medicinal cannabis may be quite a long way off. And unlike the way it’s often
portrayed in the media, it won’t necessarily be a panacea or magic bullet that will cure all ills. Experience
shows that some people will benefit greatly, many will benefit modestly, and some not at all.
It also won’t necessarily work in isolation – you’ll still need to do all of the other things you do to
manage your condition and pain, including exercise, managing your weight, mindfulness, managing
stress, pacing etc.
The important thing is to be as educated as you can and be open in your discussions with your doctor.
And be aware that cannabis for non-medical purposes is still illegal in Australia.
